No, you misunderstand the process. Once the certified electors votes are sent to Washington, D.C. there is NO stopping the process by outside legal action. There is NO court which may interfere at that point. It is up to the Joint Session of Congress to ascertain the legitimacy of the electors' votes when they are counted.

No other body has any say in the matter, so 'litigation' will stop nothing. Many lawyers seem to forget that the Founding Fathers already thought this one through...

Thanks for clearing that up.

So this recount effort is all for nothing? Do I understand you correctly that even if the recount finds enough votes to give Kerry the victory it must go to the Congress for a vote before he would actually be declared the winner?
